The "Confidence Man KR" STREAM commemorative event was held in Tokyo on September 4, 2025. Park Min Young, Park Hee Soon, and Joo Jong Hyuk appeared and began with a greeting.
Joo Jong Hyuk and Park Hee Soon greeted the audience in Japanese, drawing applause from the audience. They then moved on to talk about the film.
When asked, "How did you feel when you were chosen to appear?" Park Min Young replied, "I was happy to be able to participate.
I was worried about whether I could express the wonderful individuality of the character in a way that was comparable to the original work," he said, once again expressing his joy at being able to make this announcement today. Park Hee Soon also said,
"I'm happy to be able to introduce such a great Japanese work," he said with a smile. He added, "The ensemble of the three actors is excellent. We worked hard to make sure everyone could see it. I hope everyone in Japan will enjoy this work."
I would like all my fans to watch it too." Joo Jong Hyuk said, "When I received the offer, I thought, 'I have to do it!' I think it was amazing that I decided to appear in the film.
" He praised the film and his own decision. Regarding the character he will be playing, he said, "The Iran I will be playing is a character whose pure image and acting shines in the original work, so I will
Park Min Young said, "I took over the role of James and tried to act in the same way, but add a Korean touch to it." Park Hee Soon added, "The character James is the oldest, but he has a casual sexuality.
"He has dignity. He's a character that supports everyone from behind, rather than stepping forward," he explained. On the other hand, "Goo-ho is not the youngest and sexy... but a lively and pure character."
" Joo Jong Hyuk almost said, bringing laughter to the audience. As a unique Korean point, he mentioned the plot development and the strong character of the villains, which makes it a satisfying experience to punish them.
They also mentioned that the difference in language makes the story more interesting, and that the comedy element is due to the use of Korean rhythm and words.
He said that he recommends the film because the singer's dance and singing, which he puts his heart and soul into, are unforgettable. On the other hand, Park Min Young will also be appearing in the film with her own unibrow further emphasized, so he wants viewers to pay attention.
Joo Jong Hyuk revealed that he found his appearance in drag "creepy," but Joo Jong Hyuk responded, "I was surprised because he looked so much like my sister," drawing a smile. "The biggest problem is my Adam's apple."
"It was a difficult decision," he said, explaining how he was even serious about cross-dressing. Next, he talked about the behind-the-scenes story of the filming. The key word was "Sonbae (senior) ban." The chemistry between the three was important, and in the film, they were friends.
Because of their relationship, they decided to just talk to each other like friends without using honorifics. They even decided that if anyone uses honorifics, they will be fined 10,000 won, but Joo Jong Hyuk is still at a disadvantage.
If he had to pay, it would have been around 5.2 million won, but the kind couple didn't actually collect it, so Joo Jong Hyuk treated him to a delicious meal instead.
The keyword was "10 hours of talk." Since the characters are like friends, it was important for them to get along well, so they gathered at Park Min Young's house and talked while drinking.
He was surprised that 10 hours had passed since they last met. They started off by talking about their work, then moved on to private matters, and their friendship grew stronger.
According to Park Hee Soon, "We started with a script reading and then moved on to analyzing the work.
Park Min Young said, "The heater in the guest bathroom at my house was on, so I got drunk every time I went to the bathroom.
"It was funny to see the two of them going back and forth to the bathroom saying, 'The burrows are spinning,'" Joo Jong Hyuk said, "At that time, I thought for sure it was an acting test.
" He made a humorous remark, but added, "We actually read the script together and acted together, and they gave me lots of advice and talked to me so that I could be confident.
From that day onwards, I was able to fully trust him." Finally, each of them gave a message to those who will be watching the film.
"The film will be screened today, and you will be the first audience to see it.
I would like to spend an hour here talking about this film, and the three of us did our best to make it worthy of being called a remake. The director and all the staff worked hard to make it, so it was fun.
I hope everyone will enjoy watching it (Joo Jong Hyuk)." "I'm honored to be able to remake it in Korea, and I hope that this kind of cultural exchange will increase. First of all, I enjoyed watching KR.
I would like you to watch both KR and JP and see what differences and charms there are between them, and then watch KR again (Park Hee Soon)." "I would like people who love the works I filmed the most to watch it.
I don't want that to happen. I'm embarrassed to show it to my beloved fans in the fan club, and I have the next fan meeting coming up, so I'm excited to see their reaction. Please watch it carefully and I hope to see you again in the future.
Please pay attention to the event. (Park Min Young)" The event ended with the shout of "Confidence Man! KR!" and flyers resembling stacks of banknotes flew up into the air throughout the venue, creating a sensation.
"The Confidence Man KR" will be available on Prime Video starting Saturday, September 6, 2025.
